Mathtext is in a completely different font (Computer Modern), so it has a different x-height, even though it does have the same overall height.
While there isn't a way to change the size of part of a Text object, you could put the math its own Text object and use the 'fontsize' kwarg to change its size. You might also see more font "harmony" by using the STiX math font (set the rcParam mathtext.fontset to 'stix') alongside Times, or by using Computer Modern everywhere by (if you have LaTeX installed), setting the rcParam text.usetex to True.
